Thanks for your report.

The cause of the failure is
=====
Unpacking libxul0d (from .../libxul0d_1.8.1.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libxul0d_1.8.1.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive
=====

As the message said this is very likely due to a corrupted archive. Could you please run the following commands:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxul0d

And report if this help. Thanks.
